Feeling Stylish
Aug. 31st, 2006 01:57 pmIt is rather amazing to realize how much more interested I am in updating now that my page looks so much prettier. It's not perfect, mind you - I'm not really fond of some of the screwy scrolling issues created by LJ's nailed-down length and width codes - but survey says that it's preferable to my old style.
It's our second sunny day after a seriously relentless stretch of gray-and-wintry-cold days. The PG&E guys are still goofing around out our street with god-knows-what, mostly involving jackhammering holes in the sidewalk and digging up random tarmac areas they haven't already dug up yet. ( I had to flip back a ways to find out how long they'd been out there - wow, since the end of June.) They're also working on the main shopping street near us now, so getting groceries is an adventure, although I'm not minding so much at the moment because the Ditch Witch has made another appearance. Such a neat piece of equipment to watch in that slow, anthill-building kind of way.
And one good thing to come out of this noise and clamor (aside from whatever pipe improvements we get out of it): when the sidewalk holes were re-cemented, sawhorses place all around until they dried, I mentioned to Toys that we'd missed our opportunity to carve our names in the wet cement (it was almost dry by then). He immediately looked stricken and blurted, "Oh, I wish I'd thought of that!" Which would be another checkmark in the column of Why I Love this Guy. : )
